So, what's the deal with DigiBarn?

[william degnan]

I have been there before, Bruce gave a tour of the museum.  Worth the
visit when it's open if you get the chance. The items are not powered
on and generally speaking items are on picnic tables with red/white
tablecloths.  There is also a bus called "Further" on the property and
a pg pen. It's kind of like a mountain farm with historical computers
in the barn. b
